Multiples of 394 are all integers divisible by 394 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 394 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 394. The smallest multiples of 394 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 394 since 0 × 394 = 0
394 : in fact, 394 is a multiple of itself, since 394 is divisible by 394 (it was 394 / 394 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 394, the answer is: No, 394 is not a prime number.
To know the primality of an integer, we can use several algorithms. The most naive is to try all divisors below the number you want to know if it is prime (in our case 394). We can already eliminate even numbers bigger than 2 (then 4 , 6 , 8 ...). Besides, we can stop at the square root of the number in question (here 19.849 ). Historically, the Eratosthenes screen (which dates back to Antiquity) uses this technique relatively effectively.
More modern techniques include the Atkin screen, probabilistic tests, or the cyclotomic test.
